Description Noel Grandin CLA 2005-04-07 03:09:11 EDT 
[This bug is linked to bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72151]

Description copied from that bug.

I often search for 10-20 different things in various files over the course of 
an hour. 
But the dropdown combobox in the find/replace dialog only appears to remember 
the last 7 search terms.
Ideally, the computers memory should exceed mine :-)

Request: make it remember 30 items - that should exceed the list of things that 
I can remember searching for :-)

I changed it to 12 entries. I'm hesitating to add even more as the combo is not
really good with many entries. Other reason is that we don't allow to remove any
entries so the list will keep useless entries for ever.

Let's see if things work out well with 12, and if we add additional
functionality (better combo, possibility to remove entries) the  we might add more
